Day #2 Trick or Treat with the Some Odd Girl

It's going to be a fun week with Some Odd girl! We are tricking and
treating this week at the SOG blog. So get ready for loads of fun and
some tips and treats. :)

Here we go! Here is my tip for you. :)

Applying
ink on your stamp: I've been to classes and heard stories and seen videos on stamping. Some
swear by one technique and say no to the other. What is the right way
/best way to apply ink to a stamp? Well that depends on the look you want..the
look you're going for. If you want a perfect crisp stamp, then pat
your ink with slight pressure over the stamp. You can also hover over your ink pad and press the
stamp into the ink ...but take care when using shallow stamps that the ink does
not get into the grooves of the stamp and on your block.
If you want an aged look then in a circular motion lay the ink on
your stamp, gently...this is also great for not wasting ink. Remember
doing this? You ink up your stamp and then on a sheet of paper stamp to get rid of
ink and then you stamp your project. If you do the second technique you
won't have to do that anymore ...you are in control of the ink!
